    • BACKGROUND
  • (a) Field of the Invention
  • The present invention relates to an integrated electronic power control unit sharing a DC input terminal of an environmentally friendly vehicle in which an inverter and an LDC (Low voltage DC-DC Converter), which are EPCUs (Electronic Power Control Units) in the environmentally-friendly vehicle, share a DC input terminal
  • (b) Description of the Related Art
  • It is known to provide vehicles that are environmentally friendly, i.e., that have improved fuel efficiency, satisfy applicable governmental regulations, e.g., those of OBD (On Board Diagnosis) about exhaust gas, and which minimally use fossil fuels as a fuel source.
  • Such environmentally-friendly vehicles, including fuel cell vehicles, electric vehicles, plug-in electric vehicles, and hybrid vehicles, are equipped with one or more motors and an engine.
  • For example, environmentally-friendly vehicles may include a battery charged with power at high voltage for driving the motors, an inverter that is an electronic power control unit driving the motors by converting the DC high voltage of the battery into AC voltage, an LDC (Low voltage DC-DC Converter) that is also an electronic power control unit charging a low-voltage battery by converting DC high voltage into low DC voltage (for example, 12V), an engine clutch disposed between the engine and the motors to transmit power of the engine to a driving shaft, and various electronic power control units for controlling the operation of the environmentally-friendly vehicles.

  • Referring to FIGS. 1 to 3, it can be seen that an inverter and a low voltage DC-DC converter according to the related art are separate individual electronic power control units or integrated simply in one package, such that they do not share a DC voltage input terminal.
  • Therefore, the inverter and the low voltage DC-DC converter according to an embodiment of the related art have the problem in that they decrease spatial availability in environmentally-friendly vehicles and increase the manufacturing cost.

  • The inverter 110 may include a capacitor module 112 composed of a DC capacitor 112 a leveling input high voltage HV and a Y capacitor 112 b removing noise of the input high voltage.
  • Although the capacitor module 112 according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention and the capacitor module according to an exemplary embodiment of the related art may be the same, it should be understood that the scope of the present invention is not limited thereto.

  • The inverter 110 and the low voltage DC-DC converter 130 are connected by a circuit such that the output of the capacitor module 112 of the inverter becomes the input of the low voltage DC-DC converter 130, as shown in FIG. 4.

  • Accordingly, in another exemplary embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 5, the Y capacitor 32 b and the X capacitor 32 c can be removed, as in a low voltage DC-DC converter 130′. Therefore, according to another exemplary embodiment of the present invention, it is possible to reduce the costs of parts and achieve a more compact size.
  • FIG. 6 is a diagram showing a package layout of an integrated electronic power control unit according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.
